Download or read book The First Day of Spring written by Raymond Knister and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1976-12-15 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raymond Knister had a strong sense of commitment both to his own career and to literature, particularly Canadian literature. In his ten working years he proved himself a prolific writer with wide-ranging interests. Although his work has appeared in many anthologies of Canadian literature, there remains a great deal of out of print or unpublished material. This volume brings together not only for his more well-known stories but also all his unpublished stories, a few travel pieces, and several examples of his literary criticism. Knister's stories are often strongly regional, and draw on rural Ontario for their setting and characters. Collected together here for the first time is a group of sketches dealing anecdotally with life in a village in southwestern Ontario. Also included are two stories arising from his experiences as a cab driver in Chicago in the 1920s, 'Innocent Man,' and 'Hackman's Night.' His essays focusing on literary matters and the traditions and problems of Canadian literature show a keenly critical mind. The First Day of Spring is an important rediscovery of one of Canada's best writers of the 1920s.

Download or read book Hay and Heartbreak written by Bailey Bradford and published by Totally Entwined Group (USA+CAD). This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's more than one way to imprison a man. Daniel Edmonds spent almost a decade in prison for a crime he didn't commit. After finally having his name cleared, he'd hoped things would get easier, but people still look at him like he's a murderer, and talk about him in hushed voices as he walks past. When he discovers that he really can't go home again, he has to decide what to do to survive. Adapting to the outside world isn't easy, especially for a man alone. Fear of temptation to fall back into his old ways scares Daniel into near-seclusion. When given the chance to help his brother Duke and brother-in-law, Frankie, Daniel agrees. His pride takes a hit when he has to let them buy his plane ticket to Montana, but Daniel's learning that family is more important than anything else. That's what he tells himself, although maybe he's running, just a little, and not just trying to help Duke and Frankie. One thing is for certain—he doesn't mind spending a little time on the Mossy Glenn Ranch. Hector Gallegos works hard and keeps his head down. He hasn't been interested in more than the occasional hook-up here and there. He's growing tired of that lifestyle, though, after seeing so many happy couples—and one treble—at the Mossy Glenn. When Dan Edmonds shows up to visit his brother, Duke, Hector can't help but notice the man. Dan's scarred face doesn't dim the attraction that immediately flares between him and Hector. Lust comes easy, but building something that will last is a challenge.

Book excerpt: "You know I'm coming. You're dead already." Hector has always minded his own business, working hard to make his way to a better life someday. He's the chess team champion, helps the family with his job at the grocery, and teaches his little sister to shoot hoops overhand. Until Joey singles him out. Joey, whose older brother, Chavo, is head of the Discípulos gang, tells Hector that he's going to kill him: maybe not today, or tomorrow, but someday. And Hector, frozen with fear, does nothing. From that day forward, Hector's death is hanging over his head every time he leaves the house. He tries to fade into the shadows -- to drop off Joey's radar -- to become no one. But when a fight between Chavo and Hector's brother Fili escalates, Hector is left with no choice but to take a stand. The violent confrontation will take Hector places he never expected, including a reform school where he has to live side-by-side with his enemy, Joey. It's up to Hector to choose whether he's going to lose himself to revenge or get back to the hard work of living.
